Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by food and beverage: $17,007 of the $23,069 with a category attached, or 73.7%. It is spread thinly across 34 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 18.9%. Reporting peaked in 2023 at $4,543 and has fallen 58.3% since, to $1,895 in 2025. Among cardiovascular disease clinicians in WA with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 10% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.
Across 798 payments — averaging $28.91 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
- Siemens Medical Solutions USA, Inc.$4K
- Novartis$3K
- Boston Scientific$2K
- Amgen$2K
- Amarin Pharma, Inc.$2K
- AstraZeneca$1K
- plus $9K from 28 others
Across 7 payments — averaging $11,412 each. Payments tied to a research study. These frequently flow through the physician to a hospital or research institution rather than to the physician personally.
- ZOLL Services LLC (a/k/a ZOLL Lifecor Corp)$42K
- Amarin Pharma, Inc.$18K
- Novartis$11K

Most of this is food and beverage — typically meals provided during product presentations at a clinic or hospital. Nationally that is the single largest category of reported payments by count.
General payments by program year
Who reported the general payments

Products named in the reported payments. Only payments of $100 or more are attributed here — the typical reported payment nationally is a meal worth about $16, and listing those product-by-product would be noise.

How this compares
$23,069 in reported general payments places this provider in the 90th percentile of 370 cardiovascular disease providers in Washington.
Medicare billing
What this is not: this is the amount Original Medicare Part B allowed for services this provider billed in 2024. It is not their income. It excludes Medicare Advantage — now more than half of all Medicare enrollment — along with Medicaid and all commercial insurance, and it is gross practice revenue before staff, rent, supplies and malpractice premiums. CMS also suppresses any figure covering ten or fewer patients, so low-volume providers appear smaller than they are.

Paid to pharmacies, not to this prescriber.
Companies that both paid and supply prescribed drugs
These companies both reported payments to this provider and make drugs the provider prescribed under Medicare Part D in 2024. For most specialties this overlap is expected — a cardiologist who is paid by a cardiology drugmaker also treats heart disease. It is shown so the reader can see it, not because it implies anything on its own.
| Company | Paid to this provider | Part D cost of their drugs |
|---|---|---|
| PfizerEliquis | $511 | $535,940416 claims |
| Boehringer IngelheimJardiance | $618 | $157,091109 claims |
| Johnson & JohnsonXarelto | $1,274 | $130,791116 claims |
| NovartisEntresto | $2,681 | $58,42351 claims |
| AstraZenecaBrilinta | $1,468 | $56,48165 claims |
| BayerKerendia | $1,426 | $15,01824 claims |
Reading this fairly. The Part D column is what drug plans and patients paid pharmacies — this provider received none of it, and it reflects how many patients they treat and what those drugs cost. Against peers, this provider's reported payments sit in the 90th percentile of 370 cardiovascular disease providers in Washington.
